This dish is a great representation of the collaborative environment that I try to foster at Stella. Pulling influences from different backgrounds, cultures, and styles is what we're constantly striving towards.

Reconstructed Berry Pie

Reconstructed Berry Pie - lime macerated berries with basil, vanilla chantilly, pie crust

This "reconstructed" berry pie is a simple play on a traditional favorite. I love macerated berries in the summer time, and who doesn't like a good berry pie? This dessert takes half the work and a third of the time as a normal berry pie, and by rethinking its structure, it allows you to keep your berries moist and macerated in a delicious simple syrup while keeping your crust crisp and flaky.

Shoyu Ponzu (Citrus-Soy Glaze)

A citrus/soy glaze that can be used as is or doctored with extra flavors to create your own, unique sauce. We use this as a common prepared ingredient in the Stella kitchen, using it as is, to season tartares and pokes, or any other application in which a salty-sweet flavor profile is called for.

Sushi Crab

This recipe is from my days as Executive Chef at an Asian-Fusion restaurant that also served sushi. It was a crab mix that went inside of a sushi roll that was topped with sliced hamachi and orange aioli. After leaving this restaurant, I was so burnt out on sushi that I swore I'd never make it again.

Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce

This recipe was originally developed as a dipping sauce for our Thai Style French Fries served at Stella. This peanut sauce is a little thicker then normal and has a nice little kick to it. It will also go great with chicken, beef or pork, especially satay. Recipe yield is calculated in grams to make scaling easier. See notes section for portioning info.

Smoked Salmon Pâté

This recipe is a great way to use your left over salmon scrap after you butcher a side down into fillets. The salmon is pureed in a food processor with a flavored cream and then baked in a terrine mold. The finished product is a slice-able yet spreadable pâté that works great as an appetizer or canape.

Ponzu

This is one of most versatile Asian sauces we use here at Stella. It is great to add a citrus-soy sweet flavor to a number of ingredients.

Kaffir Lime Aioli

This kaffir lime aioli was originally developed as a dressing for our Thai inspired french fries served at Stella. I love kaffir lime because it just permeates with tropical fruit and citrus. This aioli will work great for just about anything you'd use a citrus aioli for, just taken to the next level.

Aioli - Basic Recipe

Aioli differs from mayonnaise by the addition of raw garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. However, aioli in recent years has become synonymous with a flavored mayonnaise. Here is a base recipe for aioli which can be used as is or doctored with your own choice of flavorings.
